Amelia is four on Friday and I was wondering when I should start correctinh her speech, she drops her Hs for Ws, she calls me her deawest, shes says I ham, instead I am. Nauny, instead of naughty ect
I dont like to correct her, because she sounds so sweet, but should I?

They will normally do it at school so I would say start now so that when your L/O starts school they don't get upset with being corrected hon

I will teach Ben to speak properly from the word go. its cute when kiddies say thinks like 'lellow' (instead of yellow) and 'psghetti' instead of spaghetti but if u don't get them out of it now they might still be doing it when they are an adult.

i will also teach Ben not to drop letters (eg 'want' not 'wan') but since im from barking i don't know how long that will last once he gets outside the front door on his own!!! LOL

I will correct Ethan pretty much from the word go i think. I had problems as a child with my H's and T's. My mum had to take me to a speech therapist, i dont want Ethan to have the same probs as me!!
